Sportverletzung-Sportschaden, 1997
The popularity of alpine skis with large sidecuts has increased dramatically in the last few years. However, little scientific data exists regarding the effect of these skis on certain human factors. The purpose of this study was to compare three-dimensional knee joint motions during entire ski runs while skiing on two skis with a large difference in ...

The Effect of Posture on the Running Speed of Skiing
Ergonomics, 1978Abstract These experiments were performed at the Syowa Station in Antarctica (69°00'S, 39° 35'E) where a straight ski course was constructed (length 100m. gradient 12°). The conditions were as follows; wind velocity: 0-0·5ms−1, temperature: − 25°C, snow temperature: −29·5°C.snow density: 0·309 gcm−3.

Optimal running on skis in downhill
Journal of Biomechanics, 1980Abstract The motion in a vertical plane of a skier performing downhill (that is straight running, traverse, passage of bump, gulley, etc.) is considered in order to minimize the time of his descent. It is known for the competition “Kilometro Lanciato”, as an example, that the record results may be calculated beforehand and therefore planned. To solve

On optimal running downhill on skis
Journal of Biomechanics, 1990In the paper the problem of the minimum time schuss is discussed. The skier is modelled as a point mass moving on the slope. The profile of the slope may be represented by any given function. Initial and final conditions are given. The control function is the aerodynamic drag of the skier's body.

To analyze the forces acting on a ski during a traverse, refer to Figs. 4.5(a) and 4.5(b) in Chapter 4, p. 92, which depicts a skier running down an incline at an angle β from a horizontal line on the slope. Figure 4.5(b) illustrates the force diagram for the case illustrated in Fig. 4.5(a).

The actual release-values of ski safety-bindings on ski-runs in Austria
International Journal for Consumer and Product Safety, 1996Abstract Safety-bindings contribute significantly to avoiding ski-injuries and can help keep the number of injuries low. To ensure that the release-mechanism of the bindings functions as required, the bindings must be adjusted to skiing-boots and skis in accordance with the skills and anatomical conditions of the skier.

Nordic Skiing: Running the Tracks
2004The term “nordic” may be applied in general to any skiing not done on the groomed slopes of an alpine ski area. Nordic track and crosscountry skiing are usually done on prepared tracks or on designated routes that are used regularly. A nordic course with a relatively wide track is designed for skiers who use the skating technique; grooves set in the ...

Evolutions in the physiology of skiing, skating and running in the Olympics
The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, 2019Cross-country skiing, biathlon, Nordic combined, short track speed skating, and speed skating (12+11+3+8+14=48 events), i.e. five of the 15 disciplines in the 2018 Winter Olympics, require participants to reach the finish line in minimum time, while exerting mechanical propulsion power through flat terrain, uphill, and downhill.

An analysis of hip joint loading during walking, running, and skiing
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1999It was the purpose of this study to investigate loading of the hip joint during various skiing activities and to compare the results with walking and running. The results are relevant to determine which skiing activities can be recommended for patients after total hip replacement.Nine male subjects were instrumented with a 12-channel accelerometer ...
